Anybody else so ingrained in your use of emoticons in your corporate IM chats that you start to affliate the ;) one as having vaguely suggestive implications so you avoid* it at all costs?

Maybe it's just me**, but when I accidently type ;) instead of :) after one of my male co-worker's comments, I'm always afraid that they may interpret like so...

*Assuming your workplace age distribution is like mine:

21 - 30 years: 2

31 - 40 years: 3

41 - 50 years:  0??

51+ years: 16

** I make up 50% of the 21 - 30 years demographic. fyi.
